The Oscar class and Kursk disaster

Kapitan · 02-20-22, 03:43 PM

Just finished writing this new article regarding the project 949 series (NATO Oscar class) submarines.

I focus on the details of the boats their weapons, sensors and power plant, I also detail the current list of boats and their status and bring you a couple of images not really seen in the west.

I also write about the tragic loss of the Kursk which sank in August 2000.

Inside the article I have finally been able to put together the pictures from inside the Kursk after she was raised.
A source had given these images to me some time ago and I had just saved them but now you can see inside the submarine after she was raised.

Check it out and let me know what you think

Extensive research was done before writing this, obviously, and both knowledge and enthusiasm for the matter is on display. Plenty of photographic material. Reading it was time well spend. Unfortunately I cannot comment much on the content because I am not familiar with the matter. Nevertheless, thanks! Interesting to learn this overview about the whole story.

I remember a two-part series on H2(I think it was) Remember it was a detective job going through the evidence towards the incident that happened on Kursk.

very interesting read.

There were always rumours that the Kursk may have had a collision with a U.S. sub and that this may have contributed to the accident. Has anyone ever looked into that aspect?
